075 - Doctors vs. Corporations The Fight to Redefine Patient Care Part 2

We're continuing our conversation about concierge medical practices this week. There were a few reasons I decided to go with a membership practice; the first one being financial survival. Our healthcare system has been compromised, and something has to change. Doctors have almost no choice but to go cash and stop accepting insurance or go concierge to survive. The membership fee isn't put in place for profit, it's there for necessity. In an insurance-driven healthcare market, medical providers are penalized if they decide to spend a longer amount of time with patients. Providers are compensated more greatly if they see four patients over one hour, rather than seeing one patient for that full hour. This is just one example of how the healthcare industry is driven by greed. You may have visited medical offices where the practice hasn't invested in growing their team or adding the latest supportive technology. These are two things we do invest in to make our services the best they can be. We have even made it possible for our patients to text us so they can reach us more easily.  It's additions like this that make it easy for patients to choose to pay the membership fee. We focus on education, but this takes an investment in training and equipping our staff with the information they need. Ultimately, only you can decide if a membership practice is right for you. If you value your health, it may be worth it to you.   Connect with Dr. Cernaianu https://www.herabeautyandwellness.com/ https://www.instagram.com/herabeautyandwellness/ https://www.facebook.com/people/Hera-Healthcare-Mirela-Cernaianu-MD/100063462643162/
